Regardless of how you define anarchy, it isn't how the author of the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto defined it. Taxation of private income is anathema to privacy.

Regardless of how you define anarchy, it isn't how the author of the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto defined it. Taxation of private income is anathema to privacy. You can only eliminate, prohibit or tax income if you eliminate privacy. That's why in the manifesto it says: >The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. All of the major figures in the cryptocurrency field, like Nick Szabo and Wei Dai, were part of the cypherpunks mailing list. The author of the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, Timothy May, wrote about uncensorable digital currency in Cyphernomicon, in 1994. >A currency and markets primary purpose is to provision the state. What would a crypto currency without a state provision? Markets and currency provision people.. Trade is a basic form of human interaction that benefits participants.
